There's a small diffrence. FAT16 doesn't have LFN - it's a work around that
M$ has invented. And IIRC the filenames on CDs are 8.3. But that's beside
the point.

You are one of the few who thinks that would be usefull. To get the LFN all
someone (probably me in this case <g>) have to do is to recompile wwwman
under DJGPP (which also makes it useless for people running anything less
than a 386). There are of course a few problems with this (IMO the LFN
should be shown but not used - mostly since otherwise DJPEG and other
programs would need to be recompiled under DJGPP (still no luck with that
btw)). And there is another issue as well, the current code is written for
Borland C/C++ not GNU C/C++.
